KOJ Co.,Ltd Kagoshima Office

Koyo Orient Japan Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture.
In September 2022, we opened a new branch office in Kinko Town, Kagoshima Prefecture—an area renowned for its tea production.

This new venture was inspired by our founder and current Chairman, who was born and raised in the Tashiro district of Kinko Town.
Witnessing the town’s decline due to population loss, he felt a strong desire to give back to his hometown.
His wish to support the local community led to the establishment of the Kagoshima Branch.

Today, we handle everything in-house—from tea leaf powder processing to nitrogen packaging,
and beginning in July 2025, we will also offer tea bag processing.
Our future goal is to obtain organic JAS certification and to develop a fully integrated production process for organic tea products.
Our team of six dedicated staff members work closely with local tea producers
to create and deliver high-quality products through custom processing and sales.

The Kagoshima Branch is located in a former classroom of the old Kamikawa Junior High School.
Surrounded by the lush nature of Kinko Town, the office enjoys fresh air and a peaceful, slow-paced environment.
It is in this calm setting that we carefully process our tea—one batch at a time—
with great care and respect for both the product and the people who enjoy it.

Organic JAS and Our Future Vision

We are currently working toward obtaining Organic JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) certification,
with the goal of becoming a fully certified facility for processing organic tea leaves.
By achieving this certification, we aim to offer added value and reliability to our clients and
contribute to the growing demand for safe, high-quality organic products.

Looking ahead, we envision expanding our capabilities as a one-stop processing facility
—from organic tea leaf procurement to powder processing, tea bag manufacturing, and packaging.
We are committed to supporting tea farmers, revitalizing the local economy, and delivering Japanese tea culture to
domestic and international markets through sustainable and thoughtful production.
